“…Community participation initiatives like online petitions are a source not only of social knowledge, but also an information source on local issues. Online petitions offer various benefits such as reducing costs derived from the use of efficient technology, rationalizing the process and increasing trust and transparency (Ranchordás, 2017).…”

“…In the previous age, there were no options for politicians, parliamentarians and governments but to interact with the public using mass media (Anderson & Mcleod, 2004). The community has a small opportunity to contribute to the realm of communication with the government, parliament and government agencies (Ranchordás, 2017). Recently, changes in the dynamics of political communication have made practitioners and academics consider the way they think and examine the practices of local citizenship.…”

Indonesian local parliaments have an image as a corrupt, closed, outdated, and unreachable institution in the public’s eyes. However, the parliaments have never tried to more actively developing policies which encourage active community participation. The recent adoption of social media by local parliaments seems to be a sign of the parliament’s willingness to encourage greater community contributions. However, little can be understood about the implications of these activities. Moreover, whether social media contributes significantly to community participation in local parliaments. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of social media by local parliaments. This study employed qualitative multiple case studies by conducting a content analysis on Facebook and Twitter in four local parliaments. This study found three faces of local parliaments on social media which are performers, reporters, and marketers. In general, there has been a willingness of local parliaments to become more transparent and participatory institutions. Nevertheless, the massive adoption of social media to promote more participatory democratic practices was conducted half-heartedly by the local parliaments. Practically, if local parliaments want to use social media to enchance their image, they must publish content that promotes openness such as online assembly and educative information.

This article is dedicated to the problem of human resources management of industrial enterprises in digital economy. The relevance of the study is due to the need of adaptation of industrial enterprises to operating in the digital economy environment. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of digitalization of the Russian industry and to identify the reasons that hinder the digitalization of business processes of human resources management. The research applies both Russian and international studies and statistical sources of information on the problems of digitization of human resources management. The analysis of Russian statistics shows that the industry enterprises lag behind other sectors of economy in digitalization of business processes of personnel management. This paper presents the most promising technologies in the field of recruitment, such as artificial intelligence, and describes the useful effect of their implementation. The internal and external reasons that constrain the digitalization of business processes of human resources management are listed: the macroeconomic situation, the lack of highly qualified specialists, the lack of information resources and software products, industry specifics, the interest of shareholders and managers of industrial enterprises in obtaining fast and not long-term results, the complexity of changing business processes in the established production. One of the main reasons is also the lack of investment. Among the general problems of digitalization and business activities in virtual space, the problems of information security, security of operations and cybercrime are mentioned as the most urgent. It is concluded that since the digitalization of business processes requires enterprises to attract significant resources, the solution to this problem can be public and governmental support for private investment. Industrial enterprises are encouraged to form industry associations for cofinancing and reducing risks in implementation of projects for digital upgrade, as well as for interaction with public authorities, technology companies and research centers and for collaborative development of industry platforms, solutions and standards. With a sufficient amount of investment, the digitalization of business processes of all industrial enterprises can provide high rates of economic growth and become the basis for the creation of the country's new economic structure. The results of the study can be used to improve the supporting mechanisms of the human resources management digitalization of national industry.

“…Whilst much of what is written about Uber is critical (Morozov [36] and Harris [24] are just two examples), it has its defenders, most notably its customers, whose support the company has enlisted on numerous occasions in order to strengthen its case to be allowed to operate, sometimes successfully, sometimes not [43]. According to Posen [38], Uber gladly negotiates with city policy makers in advance of launching, and in fact it was officially registered with London's transport authority -Transport for London (TfL)when it commenced operations there in 2012 [13].…”

The history of Uber's interaction with local and national governments is surveyed to provide a case study for the wider issue of the governance of private-sector involvement, technological innovation and disruption in the mobility sector. Uber's tenacious and highly competitive approach to building markets is identified as a significant challenge to authorities and the limited power they have over Uber (beyond simply refusing access) is acknowledged. Uber's entry into the delivery of statutory services is identified as a particularly striking development. The case of Uber provides useful insights concerning technological innovation and disruption, but more important is the company's business model. The analysis enables some findings concerning how authorities can prepare for the "next" Uber: these include working on preparedness (by conducting futures work, for example); on standing arrangements (such as insisting on an open data model); and on responding to the entry of a challenging provider or service, through the use of experimental legislation.
